CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUES
We provide many different techniques to meet every bodies specific needs
cRANIAL SACRAL
Are you looking for a gentle way to heal without drugs & surgery? Maybe you have heard Chiropractic adjustments can hurt or don’t like the idea of being cracked? Then cranial sacral is exactly what you have been looking for.
It may seem as though the most gentle touch and patience is being practiced during this treatment – because it is. The deepest peace must be reached for the body to reconnect to its own internal healing potential. When this occurs, the cerebral spinal fluid has optimal flow through all the structures of the spine and brain. Most people remake that it is profoundly relaxing and that amazingly – pain dissapears.
Cranial sacral is a powerful treatment for all ages & conditions. It’s popular in the massage industry today although its roots are in osteopathic medicine. Dr. Jen Wilhelm has studied with a lineage of doctors connected with Dr. Rollin E. Becker, DO. — who was the primary student of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still: the founder of osteopathic medicine.
Cranial sacral treatment is generally given in short form in most sessions, although depending on the condition, sometimes longer sessions are required. Cranial sacral is especially employed when there’s has been a car accident, concussion or fall. These incidents commonly cause a myriad of problems from headaches, migraines, memory issues, balance disorders, cognitive & mood changes and chronic pain syndromes. Cranial sacral can gently unwind these old injuries and help the body reset it’s powerful healing ability.
When Dr. Jen Wilhelm treats newborns & infants, she always uses cranial sacral. Imagine using only the lightest pressure on a very ripe tomato without breaking the skin. It’s extremely gentle yet powerful because babies bones are not hard yet and are very malleable. Plus, very single inch of your skin has over 100,000 receptors – so this very light touch stimulates the nervous system in a very profound way. Plus a newborn has very soft bones. Just one cranial sacral treatment for a newborn can help with optimal development after birth, as well as easy breast-feeding and digestion.
TRADITIONAL CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS
Jen Wilhelm has been a teacher to chiropractic students around the country. She is masterful at adjusting the spine. Every chiropractor that you go to will have a different approach and technique. It is an art form, as well as a philosophy and science. In our office, we employ a gentle approach designed to promote healing & safety in the human organism therefore allowing optimally healing to be possible.
Ultimately – chiropractic activates the flow of vitality: oxygen, blood & energy — deep within the core spinal structures. This innate life force is self sustaining and with proper flow, allows the human being to be vibrant and alive since it was at once only two cells.
Chiropractic should not only feel safe, it should feel great, while be a huge relief of pressure and tension. The adjustment will always be given from a place of honoring where the body is at.
The click, pop or crack you hear is actually gas releasing in the joint. Tension (or pressure) releasing… it’s a good thing. Very much like opening up a bottle of sparkling water, the pressure exchange makes the same sound. The chiropractic adjustment is a fast stretch to the joint complex leading to this pressure release and pain relief in the next 24 – 48 hours.
DROP TABLE
A chiropractic drop table adjustment is a type of chiropractic adjustment that is performed using a special table that has a drop section. The patient lies on the table with the area of the spine that needs to be adjusted over the drop section. The chiropractor then applies a gentle force to the area of the spine, and the drop section of the table drops, providing a gentle dropping motion that helps to realign the spine.
Drop table adjustments are a safe and effective way to treat a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain. They are also a good option for people who are sensitive to pain or who have difficulty with traditional chiropractic adjustments.
ACTIVATOR
A chiropractic activator is a hand-held, spring-loaded instrument that is used to deliver a low-force impulse to the spine. This impulse helps to restore the normal alignment of the spine and reduce pain.
The activator is a safe and effective way to adjust the spine. It is gentle enough to be used on children and older patients and it is less likely to cause tenderness after the adjustment as is possible with traditional chiropractic adjustments. It is used by chiropractors to help patients experiencing back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain.
NASAL SPECIFIC
This is a unique & powerful master adjustment to the brain. The confluence of all facial and cranial bones exist in the nasal structures. The brain stem and many other crucial passageways for blood and oxygen to/from the brain are also in this area.
It works by realigning the nasal, facial, cranial bones and specifically the sphenoid bone — which the brain sits on! When these bones are misaligned, it can cause the nasal passages to become blocked, leading to poor breathing patterns, anterior head carriage, cognitive issues and much much more.
During a Nasal Specific Technique session, the chiropractor will use gentle pressure to realign the bones in the skull. This is done using a small balloon that is inserted into the nasal passages. The balloon is then incrementally inflated, which helps to realign the bones and improve the flow of blood & air throughout the entire brain & nervous system. The treatment is totally comfortable, safe & painless.
FREQUENCY SPECIFIC MICROCURRENT
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) utilizes resonance pathways and subtle energy frequencies to change human cellular signal. For example, you sprained your back. Application of the current would change the state, from inflamed, swollen and damaged to — healthy tissue, immediately.
Essentially: FSM sends a different signal to the cell, commanding the cell to operate differently. This is revolutionary energy medicine.
FSM was recently developed by Dr. Carolyn McMakin in 1995 using frequencies passed on from an osteopath in Canada who had a practice that came with a machine made in the 1920’s. Medical and osteopathic physicians in the US and the UK began experimenting with electrical therapies and frequencies in the late 1800’s. By 1922 there were thousands of physicians using frequency devices to treat a great number of conditions.
